Vanilla latte

Total rip off from Starbucks, but totally worth it. This recipe is for a total pot (10-12 cup) of coffee.

4 cups milk
6 cups water
6 tsp decaf coffee
3 tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup (Da Vinci brand)
1/2 cup Splenda or sugar

Put the coffee grounds in the filter. Pour everything else together into the coffee pot. You are going to percolate everything together so pour it all into the back of the coffee maker. When it's done, enjoy.........and believe me, you will!

CLEANING TIP: Since you are brewing milk in your coffee maker, each night you need to clean your coffee maker in a solution of 1 cup white distilled vinegar and 1 full pot of water. Once that has run through, run through another pot of plain water. You MUST do this nightly so that there won't be any build up to fight with later or, you don't ruin your coffee pot and need another.

PS- Coffee grounds are excellent to compost, so instead of trashing them, put them out in your flower beds!
